This creamy chia seed pudding is a luxurious, healthy, and versatile dessert or breakfast option that’s easy to make and packed with nutrients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons (40g) chia seeds
- 1 cup (240ml) milk of your choice (regular, almond, coconut, or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: fresh fruit, nuts, granola, shredded coconut, or chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
- Stir Thoroughly: Use a whisk or spoon to mix everything together, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed and there are no clumps.
- Let It Rest: Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping and ensure an even texture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- Add Toppings: Once the pudding is set, stir and serve with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, sliced bananas, or nuts.
Notes
Stir the mixture twice to prevent clumping. Adjust sweetness before refrigerating. Use thicker milk for creamier texture or thinner milk for lighter pudding.
